A Roundup of the Best of 2013

It's that time of year when everyone is doing lists of the best things that happened. Here is a look at some of those in music, books, and more.

NPR's 50 Favorite Albums of 2013 - none of which I have probably listened to. We have a new plan for listening to music next year though so maybe I'll get to a few of these.

Huffington Post's 17 Best Movies of 2013 - again, I've seen none of these, but they are all on my Netflix queue, except maybe that one with Tom Hanks as a captain on a ship - who needs that kind of drama?

Barnes and Nobel's Best Books of 2013 - none of which I have read, but I have requested every single one of them from our local library and two of them are currently waiting for the ice to melt so I can go pick them up. GoodReads reviews when I finish them. And good for Barnes and Nobel for still being open in 2013... I had my bets on them having to shut their doors this year. I guess they win one!

“If I were to write my title like going through the airport and you have to put down what you do? I would literally write ‘creative genius’ except for two reasons: Sometimes it takes too long to write that and sometimes I spell the word ‘genius’ wrong. The irony.” November 18, Bret Easton Ellis Podcast

2013 you were amazing and terrible - just like every other year and we celebrate you!
